Looking over his shoulder, a child killer knew what was coming at 'Monster Mansion'. Chilling CCTV footage captures Kyle Bevan looking towards Mark Fellows moments before 'The Iceman', David Taylor and Lee Newell stabbed him to death at HMP Wakefield.
Murder at HMP Wakefield
Kyle Bevan was killed by Mark Fellows, David Taylor and Lee Newell. Looking over his shoulder, Kyle Bevan is seen being followed towards his cell at 'Monster Mansion' by Mark 'The Iceman' Fellows. Two other murderers - Lee Newell and David Taylor - would soon follow.
Child killer Bevan knew what was coming. Chilling CCTV footage shows the moments leading to the murder of the 33-year-old at HMP Wakefield last November. He was stabbed 25 times with improvised weapons in his cell, before his body was placed on his bed and covered with a blanket. He was not discovered until the following morning when he had already been dead for hours.
Sentencing of the Trio
Fellows, 45, who previously shot dead ‘gangland kingpins’ Paul Massey and John Kinsella; Taylor, 64; and Newell, 57; were handed whole life orders after murdering 33-year-old Kyle Bevan at HMP Wakefield at Leeds Crown Court on Friday (June 19). They teamed up to murder Bevan, who had been serving a life sentence for killing Lola James, his two-year-old step daughter, at the home they shared in Wales.
CCTV Evidence Released
The Crown Prosecution Service released footage from inside the prison after the murderous trio were sentenced. It captures the cold-blooded murderers laughing and joking before the sickening attack. Fellows, who killed Massey and Kinsella amid an eruption of gang warfare in Salford, is seen wearing blue plastic gloves. This was his third murder. A court heard he was nicknamed 'The Iceman', as well as the 'Wakefield Dexter'.
Background of the Killers
Newell was behind bars following the murder of child killer Subhan Anwar in HMP Long Lartin in 2013. At the time of the killing in the Worcestershire jail, Newell had already been serving a life sentence for strangling his neighbour, 56-year-old Mary Neal, to death in Norwich in 1988.
Taylor admitted murdering Alisha Apostoloff-Boyarin, who was reported missing by her family in February 2022. Her body has never been found. He then tried to murder a Greater Manchester Police officer who had attended HMP Frankland in Durham, where Taylor was then being held, to interview him about Alisha's disappearance. Taylor had claimed to have information about her whereabouts.
Prosecution and Sentencing Remarks
Prosecutors said the murderous trio disliked vulnerable prisoners - including sex offenders and those who had committed crimes against children - and claimed they may have wanted to be transferred out of HMP Wakefield. Sentencing the three, Mrs Justice McGowan said they each took weapons to cell before the attack on Bevan. She said they cornered Bevan in a cell and that at least two held his arms as he was stabbed 25 times to the neck and torso. "He was left to bleed to death - his last moments must have been terrifying," she said.
Addressing some members of the jury who had attended to watch the hearing, the judge said: "It is certainly outside of my experience to sentence someone for their third murder. For two out of three cases in this trial, that is what has happened." Fellows and Newell were in the West Yorkshire prison already serving whole life orders, the most severe sentence which judges can pass in the English criminal justice system, meaning they must serve the rest of their days behind bars. All three defendants were handed a 'new' whole life order for Bevan's murder, meaning they will never be released from prison.
